Admiral Ronny Jackson, the nominee to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, faces allegations of professional misconduct, including drinking on duty and reckless prescribing of opioids like Percocet. Senator Sherrod Brown and other Democrats released a summary of claims from over 20 colleagues describing Jackson as "The Candyman" for his liberal distribution of sleep aids on Air Force One. Jackson has denied the allegations, including claims that he wrecked a government vehicle while intoxicated.
